Reply to comment by gunplumber700 in Recycled wastewater is not only as safe to drink as conventional potable water, it may even be less toxic than many sources of water we already drink daily by giuliomagnifico

I lived in Orange County where potable water is treated waste water. So water from the WWTP goes to the water district's potable WTP which they then feed into the aquifer. They use RO. I also worked in the water industry though not as an operator.

How much is the loss in your district's distribution? There is financial benefit in fixing NRW, unless it's already quite low.

I'd be worried about a buildup of a specific chemical they didn't know to test for.
